Yeah I think so. Whoever is getting SKC-LA is getting the late game Seahawks-Titans on Fox.
Correct
He played well and came up with some big saves. He definitely deserved that game, what happened wasn't his fault.
Hey! We got two Supporter's Shields.
...Okay.
All I can hope for is that when we cause the upper deck to collapse, we take everyone associated with the Scum with us. Except for the people that make the pupusas, they're cool by me.

wait mls on fox? hell yea. the lack of cable has severely hindered my "throw on a game for background noise on sundays" thing.
How is there not a pupusa guy at RBA? This seems like a massive oversight.

Injuries, resting guys, etc. Wednesday was a weird fluky night and this was a road game with some 2nd stringers. I'm not terribly worried, but we better get off on the right foot next Saturday.
Yeah, I was pulling for the Revs in this one anyway. They need the win a lot more than TFC does lol.
Welcome to our world, MF. Only we don't have the nice cushion you have while your key players recover.
Congrats on Pontius coming alive, finally. You guys looked pretty good. We look like shit without Basti. Like a bunch of petulant children. Accam should've scored. Niko needs to get the fuck over his slump already. GAH.
The pizza comment tho. How fucking dare you, sir.
Also,
How about PATTY THA GOD FUCKING MULLINS scoring 4 goals in one game. He instantly became the second highest scorer on the team hahaha.
Is it too much to ask for a 4-3-3 with our best 11?
I mean, I'd put Colin in here over Escobar but it's still a damn good 11 that should strike fear into the rest of the league. That front 3 would be would be crazy productive.
I just feel like this look is too much to ask for some reason.

Why did you put them in Atlanta United kits tho?

An Atlanta game in a brand new 70k seat stadium, broadcast live on Fox OTA. MLS may not be big four yet, but it sure is starting to feel like it.
Though I feel obligated as a New Orleanian to say #FuckAtlanta.

Not sure this was posted before, but Providence Park will be undergoing renovations starting this Fall and being finalized in 2019. It will add ~4000 seats.
https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017...providence-park-renovation-project-start-fall
People on that thread say the stadium could get to 35K+, but it would take a lot of negotiations to get there. Portland could certainly fill a much bigger stadium, IMO.
As opposed to "Big 4", people will start saying "Big 5". I feel MLS would need to sign and produce young players consistently. Getting David Villas and Thiery Henrys at the end of their career was okay, but they won't get respect until they can sign someone like Neymar, Messi, or Ronaldo in their prime. For that to happen, they need to continue expanding and getting that big TV contract and bigger sponsorship money. That's what Garber plans to do by 2022. The 6 year, 700 MM deal with Adidas and the 4B TV deal from MP&S that MLS turned down sure shows the potential investors are seeing in the league and where it is going. I used to say it might get there by 2026, if the US gets that WC, but I'm now saying that Garber's 2022 goal of being one of the Top soccer leagues in the world (and "Big 5" in the US) is certainly possible.

Good win.
Theres no way we will hit that without removing the south end which will never happen because the Mac (aka the south building) is owned by the super rich here. Its not happening.
I have no idea where we will hit 35 k. Its not happening.

$57 million for 4,000 new seats is nuts.

Right. That's the politics I was talking about, buying MAC and some other stuff which would prevent the stadium from growing to a larger size. Basically, it's not that they can't grow due to infrastructure limitations, but due to the political side.
I agree. I would expect 10K seats for $57MM (5.7K per seat) as opposed to 14.25K per seat they are getting. I am not sure how long until the get their money back on this.
Providence Park has had a good run, however, we need a proper EPL'ish stadium for Portland. We cannot continue to have 5 year waiting lists for season tickets and we need something that can at a minimum pack 40,000 people--- Hell, I would even say build it to handle 60,000 people because we will eventually get there.
I agree that the stadium desperately needs more capacity. I hope that we can figure something out, because I'm confident that we could fill the stadium if we had additional capacity. I just wish we could deal with the MAC somehow, because there's SO much space there to take advantage of, and we just... can't. The location is perfect, the history is perfect, the problem is that we just can't build in the one obvious place to build because it's where the rich go to work out. It sucks.
Does anyone have $70k lying around?

Thatll do it for the Quakes season and probably Leitchs tenure as head coach.
